h1.govuk-heading-xl Savings methodology

p.govuk-body
| We estimate that Teaching Vacancies' current savings figure is between £47.3 and £60.8 million, from September 2018 to August 2024.

h2.govuk-heading-l How we calculate the savings figure

p.govuk-body
| Teaching Vacancies’ savings methodology is calculated yearly and is based on feedback from hiring staff.
p.govuk-body
| Once a vacancy closes, hiring staff are asked if they:
ul.govuk-list.govuk-list--bullet
li listed the vacancy on a paid service

li listed the vacancy on a mix of paid and free services

li listed the vacancy on a free service

li do not know where else they've listed the vacancy

li did not list anywhere else

p.govuk-body
| Responses are collected to provide a free vacancy listing figure. This is the amount of vacancies listed only on Teaching Vacancies or on Teaching Vacancies and a free alternative where there was no cost incurred by the school.
p.govuk-body
| The savings estimate provides a minimum and a maximum savings figure. This is calculated by assuming a 'do not know' response could represent a vacancy listed:
ul.govuk-list.govuk-list--bullet
li only on Teaching Vacancies or a free service

li on a paid service

p.govuk-body
| The amount of total vacancies that are no cost are then multiplied against the average cost of a vacancy to work out a savings estimate. The average cost of a vacancy is an approximate market rate of a paid job advertisement, based on research.
p.govuk-body
| The result shows how many vacancies listed on Teaching Vacancies are likely not listed on paid services, giving an estimate of cost savings.
p.govuk-body
| Not all hiring staff respond to the questionnaire so this is an approximate sample of all vacancies listed in a year.

| To find out more about the savings figure, #{govuk_link_to("contact us", "https://teaching-vacancies.service.gov.uk/support_request/new")}.
